Hollow and microporous triphenylamine networks post-modified with TCNE for enhanced organocathode performance

Abstract

Hollow microporous triphenylamine networks (H-MTPN) were post-modified with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) to generate tetracyanobutadiene moieties in H-MTPN-TCNE. The H-MTPN-TCNE showed the improved electrochemical performance of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries, compared to the original H-MTPN.
